Hello,
Is it possible to always have the source OID transmit the same string in an SNMP forwarding configuration?
For example, the Source string normally is "Dataminer System" but when a correlation rule is triggered, the string reads "Correlation Engine" instead. It is logical, but in some scenarios the traps may be, for example, forwarded to a NOC which in return notifies about an alarm coming from "Correlation Engine", and it would be more difficult to determine where the alarm originates from.
In our case it is not yet essential, but it could simplify things later on.
Thanks!
Regards,
Max
It won't be possible to have the Source binding with OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.8813.1.1.2.2.11 always say DataMiner System but you might be able to configure an extra binding that you can use as a 'custom' source of the trap.
To do that, you'll have to first populate all alarms with an extra value, the most easy way to do this would be to configure a view property on the root view.
This can be achieved by right clicking the Root View > Properties > Custom > Add
It's important that you make the property available for alarm filtering so it's populated in every alarm.
And giving it the value DataMiner System
Then the next step would be to add the view property in the traps that are sent out. This can be achieved through System Center > SNMP Forwarding > Select SNMP Manager > Custom Bindings > Add
There you should be able to select the property that you've created before.
This binding should then always say DataMiner System and could be used as the source of the trap in the NOC.
